Need Advice

I applied back in July and the schools I applied to received all the info by august. I applied to Tufts, Temple, UMDNJ, and NYU. My GPA is a 3.2 and science is 3.0. My DATs were 19 academic, 19 scince. I didnt get into Tufts, Temple, nor UMDNJ. I got an interview at NYU. Does the interview mean I will get in? Also is there anything I can do to get into a dental school if not for this year then next year??

In no way is an interview a definate in (sorry). I would try taking some post-bac classes to raise your GPA, and mabye try the DAT again. Increasing your experience wouldent hurt either...GOOD LUCK

Sounds fishy. What were your full Dat scores? I have a hard time believing you didn't even get an interview at Temple. Did you go to a four year college or was it community? I would have thought that you would definatley get into Temple, BU, and NYU with the stats you're telling us about and the early application date.

Back when I was applying, I had a 3.1 and a 21 AA, 20 TS...I got rejected by Temple 1 week after I applied. Not sure how that happened so fast, but it did. I also went to Washington University, not a CC. Glad BU was there to pick me up.

I believe him, I didn't get accepted to temple either, and my stats are comparable.
